TechTalk Dates for the rest of 2017
by Marcus Denker Aug. 24, 2017

Aug. 24, 2017

Hi, We have added dates for tech talk discussions / Demos for the rest of 2017: https://association.pharo.org/events <https://association.pharo.org/events> We need to find some topics. In the past we had often formal âtalksâ or demos about a topic with discussion afterwards, but a more relaxed form of just an open discussion about a topic is possible, too, If you like to lead one of the dates (all but the November dates are available still), this would be great. If a date does find a topic, we keep it as an open discussion round. Marcus

PetitParser catalog entry for Pharo 6.0/6.1? (Re: YAML parser (2017))
by H. Hirzel Aug. 24, 2017

Aug. 24, 2017

Hello Doru Stephane Ducasse pointed out that you maintain PetitParser [1] The Pharo 6 catalog does not contain an entry for the PetitParser package. I installed in manually in order to have a good version of a YAML parser (all tests green). This is what I did: a) I loaded ConfigurationOfPetitParser-TudorGirba.80 through the Monticello Browser (not the catalog) into Pharo 6 b) Then I executed ConfigurationOfPetitParser load c) I manually loaded Name: PetitYAML-PhilippeBack.11 Author: PhilippeBack Time: 29 May 2017, 12:53:55.994195 pm UUID: d7658233-112c-754c-81a7-d60139bb9549 My need: I'd like to have a Pillar installation in 6.0 together with a PetitParser version which supports the YAML parser version with the latest fixes by Philippe Back. At the moment I have Pillar and the manually loaded PetitParser in two different Pharo 6.1 images.

Glorp: Is there some way to do insert-or-update?
by Herby VojÄÃk Aug. 24, 2017

Aug. 24, 2017

Hello! Is there some way to do insert-or-update operation (that is, roughly, to be able to register an object with possibly existing primary key(s) and let it be written regardless? Thanks, Herby P.S.: Use case - I want to have log of USER-DEVICE pairing with last timestamp and 'enabled' field that would be set to false once push notification fails - but set to true once user actually logs from the device (again). I don't want to have many historical records, so I want to have USER+DEVICE to be a composed primary key. Which means it is inserted first time, but possibly updated later.

Teapot and Mustache in Pharo 6?
by H. Hirzel Aug. 23, 2017

Aug. 23, 2017

Hello The TeaPot documentation [1] references Mustache [2] in the section 4.1. Response Transformers [3] There is an example for a JSON transformation but none for Mustache. Where do I find some information how to use Mustache together with Teapot? Regards Hannes [1] https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuccessf… [2] https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuccessf… [3] The responsibility of a response transformer is to convert the output of the action block to HTML and to set the content-type of the response. Some response transformers require external packages (e.g., NeoJSON, STON, Mustache). [4] Adapted example TLWebserver teapot GET: '/jsonlist' -> #(1 2 3 4); output: #json.

by Dimitris Chloupis Aug. 22, 2017

Aug. 22, 2017

Hey guys, I know many of you have posted in the past very interesting tutorials about Pharo I have made a section in my wiki about How tos https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoWiki/blob/master/contents/h… Because it will be very tedious for me to go through the mailing list one threat at a time, can you please provide me with just a link to your tutorial, blog post, video or whatever. I think its very important to collect all this links so people can have an easy access to them. Thanks

[ANN] Pharo wiki , is here
by Torsten Bergmann Aug. 22, 2017

Aug. 22, 2017

>> Many seemed to like the idea of a Pharo wiki , I like it too. I created >> one, can be found here and super easy to contribute to. >> >> https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoWiki I still prefer to have one based on Smalltalk and as there never was an official one maintain my own private hosted Pharo wiki since 2015 http://wiki.astares.com/pharo including lots of useful informations. It us a Swiki server ("Winterlong" release) - so it is based on Squeak + Comanche. http://wiki.squeak.org/swiki/ I once offered it to the community but there were doubts as Swiki is not more maintained and a Pharo solutions would be preferable. Unfortunately there never was a Pharo based wiki implementation although we have all the bits and pieces (Pillar, Teapot/Tealight, Zinc, ...) to write one. I have several swikis running over the years and all of them run very very stable and without any problems. Even in case of trouble they are easy to repair and extend as the content is written into XML files. Also it has an UNZIP and go concept - so it is easy to install/run and maintain or move to a different server. Squeak community is running their swiki for years already. The only problem there is that it is not well maintained and lost of pages are outdated - but this is a problem independent from the wiki technology used. So creating a wiki is quick and easy - be able to maintain up to date infos another issue. Thanks T.

Re: [Pharo-users] [Pharo-dev] [ANN] Pharo 6.1 (summer) released!

I will explain: -> if people find bugs, they end up on the issue tracker -> Some of these get fixed. If a fix is ready, we will integrate it very quickly. This means that only the update number changes, not the main version number (these are bug fixes, they do not change APIs). A good name for these updates is âhot fixesâ. They are announced to the dev list only with the automatic lists that are send for each update. We integrated already quite some into Pharo6 like that. The release was I think around #60500, while 6.1 was done around #60510 Then there are cases that are more grave: 6.1 was done because it contains bigger changes. What I think would have been good is to list all the updates that where done between releasing 6.0 and 6.1 *as part of the changelog* of 6.1 (even though they were already in the image that you got a minute before Pharo6.1 was released, as they where released as hot fixes before). Now if the image includes all fixes needed for DrGeo depends on a) has that issue been fixed and b) if yes was all massaging done to have the update actually integrated. (what does not help is that it is holiday time, e.g. I did not read emails and did *nothing* from end of Juli to yesterday, this does not help but was really, really needed). Marcus

How do I get a list of all packages in the catalog with a 6.0 tag?

Hello On 8/17/17, bdurin <bruno.durin(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Maybe something like having the list of all packages and their version > included in a given image version on https://pharo.org could be useful. What is the code snippet to get a list of all packages with a '6.0' tag and their description? The spotter brings up the Catalog Browser but how do I get 'behind the scenes'? In Squeak I would just bring up the halo menu, then open an inspector on the Catalog Browser window and see what model is attached. How do I do this in Pharo these days? Thank you for the answer in advance --Hannes

Where is the installation log? Installing FileMan into Pharo 6.0-60510, which is 6.1.
by H. Hirzel Aug. 22, 2017

Aug. 22, 2017

Hello I wanted to install the FileMan package through the catalog into Pharo 6.0-60510 (a.k.a 6.1). FileMan is library used by Cuis Smalltalk and also available for other Smalltalk dialects - http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6333. There is a FileMan entry in the catalog, but no description and 6.0 compatibility tag. So I tried that installation. For two seconds then there was a note at the lower left corner of the screen that there was an installation problem. I wonder where I do find the installation log? This is necessary in such cases in order to spot the problem. However in this case the solution was to go for the README of https://github.com/mumez/FileMan It has Gofer it url: 'http://squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfFileMan'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfFileMan) perform: #load. Then 13 out of 16 tests pass. Regards Hannes

[Wanted] Newsletter topics and "takeovers"
by Marcus Denker Aug. 22, 2017

Aug. 22, 2017

Hi, As you for sure know, we have now a good monthly rhythm with the newsletter. http://us11.campaign-archive1.com/home/?u=6f667565c2569234585a7be77&id=0486… <http://us11.campaign-archive1.com/home/?u=6f667565c2569234585a7be77&id=0486…> And the number of subscribers is growing! If you have ideas for the next newsletters (August is done and will be posted soon, but we need content for September and laterâ¦) We need both small and larger items. Example for smaller news: - announcements of new libraries - new releasese - links to videos - links to blog posts And larger items. These have not just the title and link, but a short description and if possible a picture. (If you look at the older newsletters it should be clear what is needed). Another idea I had: we could even have âcomplete takeoverâ of a newsletter by someone who wants to edit a newsletter for one specific topic. This can be about one project, or just a âthemeâ (e.g. âcloud deployment with Pharoâ) if you are interested â> send a mail to board(a)pharo.org <mailto:board@pharo.org> Marcus
